When the hour of eight arri\ed ser\ices 'vere ojiened by the organist, Henry Eyre Hrown, rendering a brilliant composition of his own for the occasion, entitled " The Talmage Silver Anniversary March," which was received with a great applause. When the last note of the organ died away, and expectation was on tip-toe, a distingnislied company of participants, headed by the Mayor of B: joklyn (Mr. Schierer.), filed out of the pastor's room and onto the platform, followed by Dr. Talmage him.self, whose face was radiant with goodwill and gratitude. The excrci.ses of celebration began by the entire audience .singing the doxology, after which the Rev. James M. Farrar oflTercd a prayer, then followed the introduction by Mr. Dinion, one of the trustees, of Mayor Scliieren, who had been chosen ti; preside. The first night of the commemoration was a distinctively Brooklyn celebration, and nearly all the .speakers were notables of that city, among the number being di.stingnished Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and representatives of other denomination.s, besides the uiost prominent officials and citizens of Brooklyn. Mayor .Schieren welcomed the va.st audience in a speech of much warmth and congratidatiou, wherein he paid a splendid tribute to Dr. Talmage and to his congregation ; other elociuent speakers delivered encomiums on the geni:'s and work of the great preacher, which were received with the heartiest acclamations from the delighted gathering. Those who thus addressed the va.st audience on the first night of the celebration were : Hon. Charles A. Scliieren, Editor Bernard Peters, Rev. P'ather Svlvester Malone, Rev. Dr. John I'. Carscm, ex-Mayor David A. Boody, Rev. Dr. Chegg, Ra1)bi K. De Sol. Mendes, Rev. Dr. Louis A. Banks, Hon. John Winslow, Rev. Spencer V. Roche, Rev. A. C. Dixon. .\t the reception, Thursday evening. Rev. Dr. dregg, among other things, said : "There is only one Dr. Talmage. There is more or less Talmage in every mini.ster, but he is all Talmage. He lives among us nnicpie. There is bnt one uuin in the American pulpit that can draw, and hold, and thrill, twice every Sabbath the \ear round, an audieuct of 8000. There is but one man on the globe that preaches the gospel every week through the press to 25,ooo,oof). There is only one man living who, in taking a trip around the world, can sav : ' I am sinqjly out for a sea.son of jxistoral calls. I am taking a walk amon,:^ the people of my congregation.' [Laughter and applause.] There is only one Dr. Talmage. With this fact before my mind I come to this great meeting to-night to congratulate oui nmnicipality that Dr. Talmage is a citizen of I'.rookhn ; to congratulate this vast church that Dr. Talmage is still the pastor of the lirookhu Tabernacle, and to congratulate m\ brethren in the ministr\- that Dr. Talmage is still a member of the Brooklyn Presbvterv in good and regular standing.

[.\pplanse.] .As I have seen Dr. lan.age from the pew I eonsi.Ier him the greatest word painter on aiiv -n .lien of earth. He paints for Chri.st. He thinks in pictures, and he who thinks in patmes thinks vuulK He paints with a large brush, with colors that burn and glow, and uat.ons gather around his pictures and feel an uplift and a liolv thrill. There is one t him. winch Dr. ralinage is able to use beyond any man I have ever heard speak, and that is tl,; rhetorical pause. He makes his sermons vivid and i,npre.s.sive with the flash of a ooldeii ^sdeiice. Having rouiued his period and finished his point he stops until the hush of heaven ifills the hou-se and until the audience has felt the power of (lod's truth " Among other things Rev. Dr. Banks .said : "I am very glad, Mr Chairman, of the opportunity of bringing nn- handful of wild powers from the Oregon hillsides where I first came to know aud;i,uire Dr. Tilma.e u d .^.ej. nej.r dreained that I should ever live to see him in the flesh, much less t^e 1 „ b^ the hand), and add them to the garland we are weaving for the head of the most wi le v |:nown c leftain ot the American pulpit-iudeed, I doubt not, the most universaH li^of #11 iMcachersiiow living in the world.

The meetuio .seemed also an echo of the appreciation expressed bv Canon Wilberforce -hen introdncin.o; Dr. Talmaoe, in 1.S79, to an audience in Southampton, Kn-Iaud The Canon remarked : " I used to read Doctor Talmaoe's sermons, but I have ceased to do so, because the teniiitation to reproduce them is too stroiio." The Silver Jubilee, the ma-nificent celebration, the splendid tribute, the inter- national cominemoration of the twenty-fifth year of Dr. Talma-e's Ihonkhu past<,rate was concln.led with the Sabbath noon service, Mav 13, i,S94. The immense temple' reared with sacrifices and dedicated with reverence, was packed with j^eople who came with ea-erne.ss and afTection to hear the farewell sermon of the beloved preacher who was to start on the morrow for a tour aroi ud the world. Kverv face in that tremendous audience was a-low with ble.ssin-s, vet .sorrow at the earlv partiii- showed 111 every eye. Dr. Talma-e had been overwhelmed with three davs of jubilation, wherein he had been made the central fi-u,e of an outpourin,^- of ciiristendom such as no other minister 111 the world's history had ever provoked or received. I!ut he manifested no fatioue, his .spirit was even more buoyant under the .stimulus of the ovations that atte.sted the appreci.ition and love in which he is held bv Christians of cverv land Six thousand people attended this last service, and twentv-five infants were bapti/ed In- his hands and blessed by his benediction. The subject of his discourse was " A Cheerful Church," and his text was from Solomon's SonK^ "Behold thou art fair, my love," which he treated in a most eloquent manner concludiu- with such feelin- words as to liis -oiii- awav that tears Kdisteiied in every eve' At the conclu.sion of the .sermon Dr. Talmaoe invited everv one forward that thev ^misht have a farewell international handshake, which iiearlv all persons in the vast [audience acccpte.l, then the benediction was pronounced and while the oroauist plavcd the : 1 alinage Jubilee March the great gathering was dismi.ssed. 4 1 k-: 48 THH EARTH OIRDLKD.

This new eliureh, which .soon had world-wide fime, was dedicated on January 22, 1S74. It soon became one of the chief churches of the country, and the centre of evaii,t;elical activity in I5rookl\n. Coi)ies of the sermons delivered in it were sent out l)roadcast 1)\- a special syndicate arraii.t^enient, and translated into French, Cermaii, Italian, Swedish and Ru.ssiau. Hut this ;- librar\-. l-roin his bed-room window Dr. Talma.i^re .saw the wild spectacle, " the destruction of the temple of his heart and .soul, wherein all his earthly hopes were centred." Hut, as he .said in speakins,'- of it, neither he nor his jieople were disiiia\ed at this new and .still <;reater calamitx. Once n^iun skillful architects were a.sked to prepare plans for a r.ew Tabernacle, lari^er and more nia},niificent than cither of the other churches. On the morniii.i;- of October 2S, 1.S90, <;round was broken at the northeast corner of Clinton and Oreeiie avenues, Hrooklyn. Work was pushed with a will, and by the followin<; spriii.t; the l)uilclin,<,r was ready for worshipers. It was formally opened by Dr. Talmaj^e on his return from his famous journe\- to the Holy I^and, in May of that year, 1S91. The architects were J. H. Snook iS: Sons, of Brooklyn, who were credited witb accomplishiiii^ the remarkaljle task of completinij;- the vast edifice on time. It was this church that burned May 13, 1S94. It was considered the largest Protestant church in .\merica, and would seat 50UO persons comfortabl}-. On e.xtra occasions, by throwing open the doors leading into the Sunday-school annex, 2000 more could find .seats in full view and within hearin<:^ of the preacher. It was called the most imposing chnrcli structure in Brooklyn, and it cost $350,000. The style of architecture was Xoriiian, .solid, massive and imposing, of rich, dark, nmber-colored granite, with facings of Lake Superior brownstone. The striking character- istics of the exterior were a liigh tower at the corner and two gables on each facade, with small towers at the extreme ends of each facade. The corner tower went up 160 feet high from the ground to the finials. The church's general form was square, but over the two principal entrances was a rounded projection which was carried up two stories. The interior was in the form of an amphitheatre. There were two g;'.lleries, and on the Waverlv avenue side a comnuxlious lecture-room and reading-room. On each side of the main auditorium were I'ible and class-rooms, .separated from the main room by sliding doors that could be pushed aside on special occa.sions, making one great room. There were also two large reception-rooms near the lob1)ies, for the exclusive use of strangers and visitors. The lobbies and passageways were spacious — none le.-s than eight feet wide. There were no winding staircases. The idea wa.s to liave the church easy of entrance and egre.ss. It has been specially arranged to i)revent " choking " in case of a panic by fire, or accidents of any kind. Klectric lights were used in every part of the structure. The windows were of cathedral glass, richly stained, and the mncli-praised rose window was considered particularly "^ bit'ii Inrj^e the niiiis.

They had been in the habit of slayin-, or the custom of haviuii uiany husbands, was considered rijiht. An iron ueedle was worn in the no.stril. The lower lip by force of torture was driven out to utmost distortion. Tiiere was a canonization of filth and obscenity and massacre. The Friendly Islands and the Society Islands were at the lowest depths in morals and cruelty. All these islands have been illumined, and the nu st of the abominations have sped away, not because of the threat of forei<^u ,t^uus or as a result of national or international politics, but by the influ- ence of that which yonder mi.i;hty crucifix in the ni_q;ht .sky typifies. Let no ship captain ever see it from a deck on the Pacific, or passenger wdicthcr for pleasure or profit sailini^ amid these islands behold it, without rememberinj; what the Soutiiern Cro.ss has done for the besotted savaj^es, bounded on all sides by these vast wildernesses of water. Oh, that Southern Cross ! Were ever four worlds better placed than those which com- pose it ? Thoui,di they were uninhabited, and l)uilt only for tliis si<^nificance, they were worthilv built. Shine on until all the people of this h.emisphere wdio see thee shall betliink themselves of the sacrifice thou dost depict ! A cross not made out of darkness, but out of li<,dit. .\ cross stron.yf enonj^h for all nations who see it to hauf^ their hojies upon. One night while I w^atched this celestial crucifix, the clouds gathered, and the top of the cross was gone, and the fi)ot of it was gone, and the outspread arms were gone. No more of it to be seen than if it had never been hoisted. Had the clouds conquered the stars? Xo. After a while the chmds parted and rolled back and oflf, and there it stoot in the new astronomy of the gospel to l)e one aiul the .same cros.s, that which was .set up igoo vears ago, and of which I have fi)uud cither a prophecy or a remini.scence in that •r, seen night bv night wliile pacing the deck of a .ste.amer on the Pacific, ipli ^plt CIIAPTKR vni.
